But the feelings between the two remained as good as ever.
A month later, the film finished shooting.
In the same year, September, it was shortlisted for the Venice Film Festival. Xia Duoduo walked the red carpet for the first time as an actress. That night was star-studded, but she was hardly known, and many foreign media didn't know who she was.
However, that night, the film won numerous awards and received high praise from international film figures. Xia Duoduo also earned a nomination for Best Supporting Actress.
After staying in Venice for a week, Xia Duoduo returned to her home country.
As soon as she got off the plane, fans recognized her: "Isn't that Xia Duoduo? She's so beautiful in person, I want to ask her for an autograph!"
Xia Duoduo was surprised at the influence of the film festival; not only did people ask for her autograph, but a group of media reporters also came upon hearing the news, surrounding her tightly.
